Fang Zhiyuan paused in his dishwashing, took the pie, and felt a warmth inside: "Mianmian, thank you for the hard work. When you go back, help thank Aunt Jiang."
He hadn’t expected that after all this ti, the old lady still thought of him so fondly, even sending Mianmian to bring him homade cakes.
"It’s nothing, Uncle Fang, as long as you’re willing to eat them," Jiang Mianmian waved her hand dismissively.
"Mianmian, how is your grandma’s health?" Fang Zhiyuan asked with concern.
"Uncle Fang, don’t worry, my grandma is doing great. She’s even working in the fields with my second and third uncle now. You wouldn’t believe it, yesterday she went to the city by herself and scared my dad," Jiang Mianmian stood outside the kitchen, chattering like a little magpie to Fang Zhiyuan.
Yu Cheng was also chiming in from the side occasionally.
The arrival of the two children brought a lot of warmth and liveliness to Fang Zhiyuan’s lonely one-bedroom apartnt.
"Mianmian, Xiao Cheng, this place isn’t big, just one bedroom and one living room. Xiao Cheng, you can sleep in the study with , and Mianmian, you can take the bedroom," Fang Zhiyuan led the two kids through a brief tour of the apartnt before assigning the sleeping arrangents.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian shook her head and refused repeatedly: "Uncle Fang, I’d rather sleep in the study. You and Brother Yu take the bedroom."
"Mianmian, be good; the bed in the bedroom is too small for two grown n. In the study, there’s a new single bed plus the couch; it’s just right for us," Fang Zhiyuan explained with a smile.
Jiang Mianmian took a look and saw that it was indeed so, and didn’t argue further.
"You guys must be tired after catching an early flight. Let’s take a nap at noon, and in the afternoon, I’ll take you out for a walk," Fang Zhiyuan suggested.
"Okay, Uncle Fang, I’m a bit sleepy," Jiang Mianmian said, unable to suppress a yawn.
She always gets sleepy after eating, and Uncle Fang’s cooking and soup were too delicious, so she ate a bit too much.
Once Jiang Mianmian went back to her room, she soon fell asleep.
Yu Cheng and Fang Zhiyuan lay on the small bed, chatting occasionally. Yu Cheng hadn’t slept much on the plane and was also tired, so he soon fell asleep too.
Only Fang Zhiyuan was left, smiling happily as he watched his nephew’s sleeping face.
Fang Zhiyuan works at a governnt departnt in Xiangcheng; this one-bedroom apartnt is provided by his workplace.
Their work benefits are exceptionally good, not only giving him an apartnt but also a sedan.
Plus, their salary, benefits, and other perks are among the best in Xiangcheng.
Jiang Mianmian slept until after two in the afternoon. Upon waking, she was a bit confused by the unfamiliar setting but quickly rembered she was now in Xiangcheng.
"Mianmian, are you awake?" Fang Zhiyuan gently knocked on the door and asked.
"I’m awake, Uncle Fang." Jiang Mianmian sprang up, opened the door, and gave Fang Zhiyuan a sweet smile.
"It’s good you’re awake. Wash your face to refresh, and later we can go out shopping," Fang Zhiyuan affectionately patted her head, seeing how adorable she was right after waking.
"Okay," Jiang Mianmian’s eyes brightened imdiately at the ntion of shopping.
She quickly got ready and followed Fang Zhiyuan and Yu Cheng outside.
